It contains many Danish words with French origin. Very useful.


I have also watched AJATT QRG: The Movie on Youtube.

Thank you so much for sharing a link to the series - I’ve been wanting to (re)watch it for so long now! I first watched Matador over a decade, it was my first real introduction to Danish. The version I watched had no subs so it really was a baptism by fire experience, but one that I cherish so much. I can’t believe it’s been on dr.dk all this time. Feel so stupid!

I have finished watching all 24 episodes of Matador. Many good French, German and English sentences.

Finally started watching original French content with French subtitles (yes yes, it's Les Aventures de Tintin).

This is excellent news, because when I will be able to make the switch completely, it should accelerate my learning.

I have been doing Duolingo for four months now and… I think it is very good for me. I feel like it helps me build a strong foundation without any big holes in it.
It might also help my ability to construct correct English sentences, actually.

I have worked my way through 2000 words in a Memrise community course. A nice and easy activity. I am happy that they (apparently) will let the site live another year.

I have been learning French for two years now. I have a good routine; listening, watching and a bit of app work. All activities I like to do. Another year, and I should be able to claim that I understand French
